Time to admit my ignorance: I know about the Nuts and Bolts cheer, and the Rope/Tree/Referee one, but I've never heard the Elevator Elevator one. How does it go?

This was on that site, if you looked around for a while. I think it's my favorite:

At a game a spectator said to the umpire - "do you know how to ump the game". The ump said "Yes, I also know how to remove a spectator from the sidelines"

This isn't a ref chant, but I had to share. In HS, when an opponent was going to shoot a free throw, we would chant, "See that basket. See that ball. C'mon stupid. Hit the wall."

His kids were chanting along with the crowd.
That is the ultimate in camouflage!!! Hopefully he congratulated them for doing such a great job of maintaining their cover.

I've heard that one a few times and still laugh everytime.

Here's another from last year:
"I'm blind, I'm deaf, I wanna be a ref"
